Totally with you guys on This Is The End, 6.5 from me only because I identified with Jay Baruchel A LOT. I hate parties, Forrest Gump, and listening to people talk about their pets for no apparent reason. I also would have criticized the film if nobody tried to make a move on Emma Watson, so I am with Jay (Baruchel) they would have gotten all rapesy eventually and being the good guy he was he was trying to head it off.
I think you’re a little high on Man of Steel, some things were kind of dumb but I agree it was a success. I would go 8. I haven’t listened yet though, so I might chime back in once I get that chance.
Shout-out to the man above, Jay’s partner on Movie Stream Cast, Jeff Hammer. Listening to your coverage of This is the End on The Resurrection of Zombie 7 right now: http://bit.ly/17TzRZu Sorry to hear that you are bowing out of RZ7. I like this podcast and I was a big fan of your coverage of the Scream series, but I totally get where you are coming from. Podcasting is no easy thing.
I feel bad that Vertical Limit got dumped into the same category as Take It to the Limit. I mean, check out this trailer for Take it to the Limit: http://youtu.be/s_dEdpF8EvY.
Honest Trailers takes a stab at MAN OF STEEL. Very funny: http://bit.ly/HZKjn4
